Guarder H&K416 metal body conversion

[Fly 9]

I've got a TM M16A2 with a plastic body, broken tabs, and all round just worn. I would like to replace the plastic body with the Guarder 416 metal body. I just wanted to make sure before purchasing that this body is compatible with the rest of the TM bits. I'll be replacing my mechbox too because my old one died, so if I have to get a specific mechbox then, by all means, let me know.
This is the first time that I'll have changed from plastic to metal so I wanted to make sure of everything first.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, the one I've got in mind is on sale on ASCA but out of stock. Now I'm not entirely sure how ordering that works, so if Honest John happens by this post if you could explain it to me that'd be swell. I've already sent an e-mail to ASCA but I thought I'd ask here as well.

Thanks,

Jan

Your Gonna have to modify (ie File) the magwell and installation of guarder metal bodys is very different from the plastic. PMed with alternative

i would suggest the hurricane 416 body over the guarder it's sure more expensive but it is the ris and everything else
